The Cambrian area of south west San Jose in Santa Clara County is a quiet, tightly-knit, highly desirable community of some 40,000 residents forming the south western part of the Willow Glen neighborhoods. Built on the orchard lands formerly known as The Valley of Heart’s Delight, it lies between Willow Glen and the Los Gatos foothills. Located about seven miles from the local downtown area, Cambrian features suburban charm with easy access to all of the major metropolis amenities. The Cambrian community borders the towns of Los Gatos and Campbell. It is only 45 minutes from San Francisco and is within easy reach of the cultural and recreational offerings of the entire Bay Area. Residents are just a short drive away from the county’s many parks and lakes, which provide ample opportunities for outdoor recreation; and it takes less than 30 minutes to reach the beach in Santa Cruz. Conveniently close highways, light rail public transportation access and nearby shopping centers help make this thoughtfully planned community even more attractive. A majority of the area is served by the Union and Cambrian Elementary and Middle School districts, each of which have earned the designation, California Distinguished Schools, with student test scores in the 90th percentiles. These districts are well funded with up to date sites and expansive learning programs. Cambrian residents enjoy homes in quiet neighborhoods enhanced by an ideal climate moderated by the Pacific Ocean’s close proximity. The community’s lovely, quiet, tree-lined streets are dotted with ranch-style homes situated on spacious lots. The appreciation of Cambrian homes has dramatically increased due to strong demand, the surrounding employment base, safe quiet neighborhoods, and the desirability of the best of living in the South Bay. This serene, family-oriented community offers something for everyone!
